Gender Disparity in Dementia: Research on Female Sufferers in the UK

This research report investigates the factors contributing to the higher prevalence of dementia among women in the UK compared to men. It addresses the research problem by highlighting the disproportionate impact of dementia on women due to their longer lifespans. The study aims to assess these factors through objectives such as analyzing the concept of dementia in women, identifying causative factors, and recommending ways to reduce the differential impact on men and women. Utilizing inductive research with qualitative and quantitative techniques, the study employs secondary data collection methods, thematic and quantitative data analysis, and adheres to research ethics. Key themes identified include the heavy burden of dementia on women, the role of age, acute health issues, hormonal factors, gender-based stereotypes, and the potential of metabolism suitability in mitigating the adverse effects of dementia. The report concludes with recommendations for women to balance mental and physical health, avoid negative situations, and engage in programs supporting active health, alongside suggesting areas for further study on gender differences and tailored treatments. This report aims to contribute to a better understanding of dementia's impact and potential interventions, and is available for students on Desklib, a platform which provides all the necessary AI based study tools.

Research project
Factors that leads to more female dementia
sufferers than male in UK

Research outline
Research problem:
 4.5 million population of world are suffering from Alzheimer's disease.
 About 850000 individuals have become victim of dementia in the UK.
 Rate of death incidence with the dementia is 60000 people every year.
 61% of UK population are women while it is 39% men.
Therefore, the research problem is the longer women age than men in UK that tends
dementia to disproportionately affects women.

Research evaluation techniques to analyse the findings in an orderly
manner
 Qualitative or thematic analysis

Theme1: Women are bearing the heavy brunt of dementia in UK as
compared to men.
 Figures demonstrate high prevalence of dementia and
Alzheimer's in UK among women.
 Rising figures creating a burden on females.
 Women provides substantial care to the people with
dementia.
 Associated with more wider aspect of living

 Women have larger life expectancy than males.
 Dementia has been analysed as old age health disorder, it creates adverse and
harmful impact on the life of old age women.
 Brain disorder it stay and harm whole body.
 It runs for at least five years.
 Have worst impact on her own family or care takers as well.

Theme 3 : Acute health issues variate dementia among male and female
thereby leads to difference

 Acute health issues variate dementia among male and female thereby
leads to difference.
 Vast difference in the thinking and functioning level of the male and female.

compared to males.

 Women harmonies shows higher symptoms of dementia occurrences
 70% of females are at risk of generating depression in their life as compare to males. I
 Frustration, depression etc are more likely to attract female than males group.
